BREAKING: Ed Sheeran announces huge arena tour – with just two UK dates

Ed Sheeran has announced a huge tour – but has only booked two UK dates. The global megastar will be touring in December ahead of the release of his latest album, Play, which will see him perform across Europe.

But many fans will be disappointed to know that there are only two UK dates on the tour – Coventry and Manchester. The shows will be a rare chance for fans to see Ed in more intimate venues, as he's currently touring across the world playing stadiums.

He'll also be hitting the road again in January as part of his Loop stadium tour, which kicks off in Australia. But UK fans can gain access to pre-sale for both Coventry and Manchester by pre-ordering Ed's album through Amazon before 7 p.m. on Sunday, September 7.
